On a related note, NEVER use Arial or Verdana as specific CSS fonts.  
Any users who actually like Arial already have it set as 
their "sans-serif" font, so just specific "sans-serif" for Arial.  
Verdana ain't that great either.

Also, make sure to specific sans-serif, serif, monospace, or any of the 
other CSS generic font families as your last resort; otherwise, your 
CSS won't validate.

Err, do you mean add fonts to be used in KDE? Is trivial, search in the 
control center.

If you plan to use "not so common" fonts in a website, be careful, because it 
could lead to the worse results you could imagine. You can choose whatever 
font you like, sure, but if this fonts are only installed on your computer, 
you will be the only one seeing the site with this fonts.

You could just copy your fonts to your ~/.fonts/ folder.

Or, in KControl, go to System Administration -> Font Installer.  Pretty 
simple to use.

Which said:

"Since X by default computes real DPI and we just use it, while GNOME 
forces it to 96DPI, we get a lot of "KDE has ugly fonts", despite us doing 
things "properly". Go figure."

I have to say, I've been a correct-DPI stickler since I began using X and have 
never had ugly fonts for which my DPI setting was the problem.  I wonder if 
the "ugly fonts" are not due to some other mis-configuration like 
anti-aliasing not working rather than DPI.

It's such a shame that KDE isn't being lauded for being sensible and GNOME/MS 
ridiculed.  In particular on Windows; most people with fancy, high resolution 
displays can't read the text on them because they can't change DPI without 
rendering every dialog box useless.

What on earth is the meaning of the term dots per inch when it is fixed at 96?  
I suggest renaming it to RDR (Random Dot Ratio).
